WILL THE oRpINANcE BE ENFORCED !?

WILL TIE ORDINANCE BE ENFORCED?
The ordinance is adopted after having
been the csuso OF much discussion in ths
past and It now remsinu to be seen as to
whether 1t will DO enforced; majority OF
the members seem to think that It would
not be enforced. Mr.. Jaeger called at.en.
ton to the fact that the ordinance reouir.
ing gates on Thirty.second street at Chap.
line and EoG to DO manned ut all times
was dead letter, as they are abandoned,
be eaid, after $50 o'clock at night, and
this he Assigned as his reason for holding
the trains down 10 four milea an hour in
stead ri ely, 40 the ordinance originally
provided. Another member said 1t would
make no difference what speed tho ordi.
nance provlded-the roads would run to
suit themselves. As Hemp6eld train
has TO go at about ten miles an hour to ret
up the Sixteenth street grade, the provi.
aion limiting them to six miles is amusing.
twill be interCstiug to see what the police
will do about enforcing the ordinance and
all Its provisions. g545
